Addressing Mechanistic Issues in the Coupling of Isonitriles and Carboxylic Acids: Potential Routes to Peptidic Constructs
摘要:
Mechanistic issues surrounding the two component coupling (2CC) reaction of carboxylic acids with isonitriles have been investigated. Experimental details suggest the formimidate carboxylate mixed anhydride intermediate exists in both interdictable and noninterdictable form. Furthermore, the 2CC reaction has been applied to the synthesis of a tripeptide featuring two formyl functional groups.

Microwave induced two-component coupling (2CC) reaction of carboxylicacids with isonitriles gives rise to various N-formylamides. The formimidate carboxylate mixedanhydride (FCMA) is proposed as the reactive intermediate, which undergoes 1,3-O-->N acyl transfer to give the observed product. The formation and survival of the labile FCMA system has been evaluated.
